Here is an alternative I can offer to you: If you do full
training you need to find the right parameters. If OTOH you
do pure train-on-error, the training adjusts to your
parameters, they are built into the database in some sense.
It seems the parameters change the size of the database, but
I have not seen evidence that they change the precision. The
thing you have to do beforehand is setting your spam_cutoff
to some value in the middle. See
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/bogofilter/bogofilter/doc/bogofilter-faq.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html#training
(Method 2) for details.

Maybe this method works for you even with few messages.
Would be interesting to know.

I personally use these settings:
